heh I thought it was Wally Walrus

There’s simple solution. Tell Cajuns they are good to eat and out of season. Problem solved

One small problem with this solution, there are no Cajuns in Miami.

Spread the rumor and they will come!

Just like chicken!

Reminds me of the WKRP episode where Les Nessman reported on a giant "lizzard" moving down the east coast.

[prophetic]

my initial scanning the headline read as "6 FT Liberals".

However after careful thought there seems to be little differences between 6ft liberals and 6ft lizards, save for the fact that the lizards dont vote (YET!!)

[JoeProBono]

It's OK

[FourPeas]

Mmmmmm, dinner *and* a belt.

Q: What's the difference between a Monitor Lizard and a Liberal?

A: One is a cold-blooded, egg-sucking invasive parasitic skank worth nothing, while the other is a (relatively) conscientious, industrious 30-pound skink that makes beautiful boots and belts.

Thanks.

[Quix]

That’s not 100% joke! LOL.

[Quix]

LOL.

Has the thing been trained in any sense of the word . . . other than to come at the sound of dinner?

[Quix]

Uhhhh . . . what’s great about a cold blooded . . . reptoid?

They aren’t warm and fuzzy.

I doubt they sit up and beg.

They probably don’t do flips.

I doubt they fetch.

I doubt they can play frisbee.

They might be able to do a good imitation of rolling over and playing dead on a sunny day.

They might be good for scaring away neighborhood kiddies.

But really—in what ways do they make great pets?

Petting such a pet . . . must be a lot like . . . uhhhh

petting Helen Thomas’ crusty scalp . . .

or Nancy Puhlousey’s crusty lying tongue . . .

not my cuppa tea.

[Squantos]

I thought this was gonna be a truck stop lot lizard thread !

[Quix]

Ahhhhhh

renegades from

“V”

I see. I see.

[Quix]

Let me know when they start eating the large pythons there.

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see...”

“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”

“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like to straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”

“I did,” said ford. “It is.”

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?”

“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”

“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”

[Brad’s Gramma]

Really. I shouldn’t laugh. I REALLY shouldn’t have shown that to my grandson. We are DYIN’ HERE!

LOL!!!!!!!

...and Brad sez: Rawr.

that’s better, i like rattlesnake- which reminds me more of wild turkey than chicken.

I see. Whenever you get bit by a rattlesnake you go for the Wild Turkey?
